Commentary (Delhi Daredevils innings)

Murali Vijay is the obvious Man of the Match for his enthralling century. That's it from the penultimate game of this season. Join us on the 27th May (2000 IST) for the final between Chennai and Kolkata. Till then, farewell!

Three tactical decisions for Delhi today, and all of them backfired. First at the toss where generally the captain winning, bats first on this slow wicket. But Sehwag chose to field. Leaving out the leading wicket-taker of the season, Morne Morkel for an all-rounder who has not been in good form, Andre Russell. And the third one, Virender Sehwag opting to come down to number 3 while chasing 223, only for the first time in this season.

Chennai entered the playoffs in a very unconvincing manner, but their supreme win over Mumbai in the eliminator, and today's dominance over Delhi in the second qualifier, means that they will be upbeat now going into the finals to meet Kolkata on the 27th of May at the same ground.

16.5 R Ashwin to V Aaron, OUT! Chennai win by 86 runs! It is a huge margin even in ODI format, and Chennai have steam-rolled Delhi over today.

Ross Taylor walks in at number 4.

3.4 A Morkel to V Sehwag, OUT! Hussey with a good catch and Sehwag's plans today are back-firing one by one for now. Short of a length, which had troubled Sehwag in the previous over as well.

2.4 Ben Hilfenhaus to V Sehwag, Almost gets Sehwag here! Good bowling. Once again a short delivery, Sehwag hops up and just looks to tuck it away, gets a glove to it and the ball lobs up just past a diving Ashwin at square leg. Sehwag off the mark. 18/1

2.3 Ben Hilfenhaus to V Sehwag, Bangs in short, on the body, Sehwag pulls but the ball lobs up near the crease itself. 17/1

Commentary (Chennai Super Kings innings)

223 is the target for Delhi. Can they chase it down? Or can they at least make a fist of it? Stay tuned for the reply....

A Murali Vijay show. He finally came good for Chennai, smashing a stunning 113 from 58 balls which included 15 fours and 4 sixes. Good cameos from Hussey, Raina, Dhoni and towards, the end, Bravo.

19.6 U Yadav to M Vijay, OUT! Vijay is run out on the last ball of the innings! Full on middle, Vijay pushes it towards long on. He takes the single, charges back for the second but pocket dynamite Warner is too quick for him at long on.

The Delhi players follow the umpires out. Michael Hussey and Murali Vijay are the openers for Chennai. Each pumps the other's fists.

The umpires for tonight, Simon Taufel from Australia and Billy Doctrove from West Indies walk out. Taufel opens the lid of the trophy and Doctrove takes out the ball. Billy Bowden is the third umpire tonight.

TOSS - Sehwag spins the coin, Dhoni calls incorrectly and DELHI WILL BOWL. Sehwag says that it is a good track and should stay the same. Hopes to restrict Chennai to under 150 and then chase well. Adds that his team would need to do well in all departments to win. Informs that Morne Morkel and Pathan miss out and in come Andre Russell and Sunny Gupta. Dhoni too, reckons that it looks a good pitch. On the head-to-head record, Dhoni brushes it aside and says that everyone needs to perform. Dhoni says that there is no change in his side.

Chennai captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni says that it is a knock-out stage so every game is important. Wants the big players to step up and perform. On the momentum, he brushes it aside and says that every day is different.

Delhi skipper Virender Sehwag smiles when he is addressed as the home captain. Says that it is a great opportunity to make it to the finals and says that they will come out all guns blazing. On the pitch, he says that it is a good track and anyone can score runs. Admits that a good start is crucial and himself and David Warner would be the key.

Hello and a warm welcome to the second Qualifier between Chennai and Delhi at the MA Chidambaram Stadium! The penultimate game of this long, long tournament and it is a virtual semi-final. Delhi are in their third one of the league in 5 years while Chennai have a chance to make it to their third successive final. Hopefully we get a good game!
